The beginnings 1905 It all began in the village of Fompedraza with Pedro Garcia Iglesias. He had a small cart workshop where he worked iron and wood. He made horse carts and repaired ploughs for near farmers. His sons Felix, Maximino and Santiago Garcia de la Fuente carried on the profession in Cogeces Del Monte. Location in Langayo 1933 Felix was continuing in Cogeces Del Monte, when Santiago and Maximino moved to Langayo. First wood-made trailers 1934 Only Maximino remained with the family activity, since Felix died and Santiago changed to grocery trade business. In Langayo, while carts were making, Maximino began to manufacture the first wooden trailers. First metal-made trailer 1955 Maximino and his three sons Angel, Alberto and Onesimo manufactured the first entirely metal tractor trailer. Move to Peñafiel 1968 Angel, Alberto and Onesimo moved to Peñafiel. A factory adapt to the market demand was built under the brand Hermanos Garcia. The product rate increases in quantity and size. The first tipping trailers up to 18 tons were manufactured. Second factory in Peñafiel Año 1979 A second factory is built in Peñafiel and the oldest brother leaves the business while Alberto and Onésimo continue. In this new factory they begin the regional expansion of the brand; the first bin-type trailers and 3-axles trailers (large tonnage) are made. New generation From 1987 to 1993 Upon the death of Alberto, his son Jose Maria Garcia joined the company with Onesimo. Between the years 1987 & 1993 Onesimo’s sons: Alfonso, Asuncion and Ramon Garcia Arranz joined their cousin. They consolidated the new generation and promoted the brand across all the national territory. Expansion of manufacturing 2001 Third factory in Peñafiel was built in 26.000 m2 of land which 8.000 m2 are covered. Manufacturing was expanded with manure spreaders and tankers of liquids. Top selling brand... 2003 Thanks to the commercial, administrative, production staff and, of course, the trust placed by dealers and customers, we managed to be the best-selling brand in trailers in Spain, holding the position year after year, until 2021, for 19 consecutive years. ...also in manure spreaders Año 2006 Five years after starting with manure spreaders, in 2006 we became the best-selling brand in Spain. In this case, we have alternated the first position with other brands. This year exports began. Exports consolidation 2009 Exports were consolidated by significantly increasing sales figures in international trade. The importers created from the beginning are strengthened and we opened new points of sale in several countries, with excellent acceptance of the product by the end costumer. Rooms renovation 2010 Due to a fire, the four painting rooms were renovated, providing them with the latest techniques respecting the environment (clean extractions, water-based paints, etc.). We incorporated new ranges of manufacturing products, such as high range manure spreaders of various sizes or trailers for cattle transportation. Manucfaturing is expanded 2012 Manufacturing were expanded with mineral and organic fertilizers, setting the target of providing all our customers with a full range in terms of transport. Sales over the five contents 2014 We expanded the factory land with the acquisition of 22.000 m2: We asphalted large fields that allow us to store both components and finished products. Disposing on the same plot of 48,000m2 Disponiendo en la misma parcela de 48.000 m2. Respectful with the enviroment 2016 Committed to protecting the environment, we began to develop slurry applicators to avoid nitrogen contamination. Devices that can be controlled with nutrient meter systems (MDP 4.0 and 5.0 systems). In this way, all our tankers, apart from being respectful with the environment, revalue the residue as fertilizer for crops.
It has a software that measures and distributes the slurry proportionally with an administrative control (DPAe). New homologations 2018 We successfully carried out the new homologations in Spain, managing to pass the braking and safety tests on the homologated rear protection. As a detail, we highlight that our trailers are safer circulating with anti-underrun than other vehicles in circulation. For Hermanos Garcia, safety is paramount, that is why at the brake level, we maintain the same brake pad dimensions that we began to put in our manufactured in 2008. Systems developments 2020 We continue taking care of the environment and we begin to develop distribution systems proportional to advance in our spreaders (DPAe).
Analyzing manure using load cells, we regulate the amount of spreading automatically.
We analyze manure using Geo-Spider display software and load cells so our spreaders carry out fertilizing tasks with precision by collecting data in big data and turning field information in real time into successful decisions. Field digitization 2022 We have successfully obtained the European homologation. We upgrade to Digital Era including:

ISOBUS communication, fleet management, cloud data migration and remote control.

Dosing work with DPAe, variable dosing, continuous weighing, flow control, sonar, section cutting. Next future About the future you can create it or suffer it, so we are creating it. We strive for the development of sustainable ways of working with the environment and the evolution of our products, in order to meet all the needs of our customers and together continue to grow in quality and quantity. Twelve years after the start of exports, we have been able to sell our trailers on five continents. In the national market, we continue to be leaders in trailer sales for the last 18 years, with the HG brand being a trusted and reference brand in the Spanish market ... hoping that over time we will be a world reference brand. 2022 1933 1905 1934 1955 1968 1979 1987 2001 2003 2006 2009 2010 2012 2014 2016 2018 2020 FUTURE
